Custom Field URLs please?

Any chance of an optional Custom Field type of URL please?
I use one for YouTube, to reference the original recording;
and another for Karaoke-Version, to keep my Duo backing mix.  This is revealed after making your mix, then choosing Key-up, Key-down, Refresh (button).  This populates the page URL, which can be copied to Bandhelper and includes the key shift if you use one, mix levels, pans and whether you want a count-in click.  K-V only happens to 'remember' your last mix for any song.  Saving this to BH is more bullet-proof.

It would be really slick to have those custom fields able to open related new windows.
Thanks

You can put a URL into a custom field and the URL will be clickable when you view the field in a layout. Is that what you're looking for?

I think you mean on a tablet.  I was wanting that feature on the web page.

The website doesn't really have a place to view songs, just edit them. But from the song edit page, you could copy and paste a URL from a custom field into a web browser.

No, no, I mean during Song Edit on the web page.  I already copy and paste them, often, so hence my suggestion/request.
I can indeed copy and paste from those or whatever fields into another browser window but those fields, for me, are always URLs, so it makes sense that there could be a tiny link button or even the field name as a URL link, perhaps pre-set with new or re-used window.  The alternative of course is to triple-click, ctrl-c copy, open another window, ctrl-v paste, <enter> to execute, possibly all twice if I want both of them.  This would seem so much slicker, as it's repeated often.
